I read through that entire thread, lots of keyboard commandos that sleep with their eyes open and a Bowie knife between their teeth. Here's how I realistically see the situation.

I will be groggy, disoriented, and probably full of adrenaline. Oh yeah, and scared $h!tless. If you claim otherwise you are a liar and a fool.

I will have to grab my glasses to see.

I will have to grab my weapon.

I will have to figure out WTF is going on.

I will have to tell my wife, also likely in a state of panic, to call the police.

I will have to take up a defensive position.

That's a LOT that has to happen in a short period of time, and most of us won't be at our best.

It's also a damn good case for a revolver. I went to the range to shoot my CCH P938, got ready to shoot, pulled the trigger and......nothing. Safety off you dumbass. Yes I need more practice, but when under pressure it is really easy to make stupid mistakes. My 686+ gives me 7 chances worth of .357 Magnum and even I can't screw it up.
